When Thomas Watson tells Christians to enact “holy violence,” he’s not talking about physical warfare. He’s urging Christians to take up spiritual arms in their pursuit of righteousness. Watson, a Puritan preacher and writer, uses passionate language to capture the fervor with which Christians should perform their duties of prayer, Bible-reading, meditation, and more. This fiery text is perfect for anyone looking to reignite their spiritual life so they can, as Watson puts it, “take Heaven...

The great English preacher Charles Spurgeon lived in the 1800s, but his lament over the current state of spirituality sounds quite contemporary. Spurgeon saw a severe lack of spiritual knowledge among churchgoers of his day. In this impassioned sermon, he urges Christians to seek wisdom through the Holy Spirit, the comforter and teacher that Christ left behind to guide his followers. This sermon serves as a wake-up call for the spiritually apathetic of any generation.

Baptismal Regeneration is a classic sermon by Charles Spurgeon, first delivered on Sunday Morning, June 5, 1864. This narration is exquisitely performed by Bryan Nyman.

Charles Spurgeon was one of 19th-century Britain’s most prominent spiritual voices. In this sermon, he discusses how Christian death is always inevitable, acceptable, timely, and honorable. His analysis delves into the complex truth of Job 5:26: “Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like a shock of corn cometh in his season.” Death comes to all, but Spurgeon provides comfort to those wrestling with the complicated questions surrounding it.

The Wicket Gate is the term first coined by Paul Bunyan for the narrow path to Heaven. In Around the Wicket Gate, Spurgeon speaks to those who are near the gate but have not yet walked through.

None but Jesus is a classic sermon by Charles H. Spurgeon, first delivered on Sunday morning, February 17th 1861. Bryan Nyman beautifully narrates this rendition.

"Sermons to slingers and archers, to falconers and troubadours would now find scarce a reader; but farmers are as plentiful as ever, and discourses, designed for them will find hearers if they deserve them." noted Charles Spurgeon in the preface to Farm Sermons.

When Jesus gathered with his disciples on the eve of his death, he led them in the ritual of communion for the first time. He told them to “do this in remembrance of me,” and Christians worldwide still regularly partake in this symbolic act.

This great Victorian preacher will provide readers with new insight into the spirit of this ecumenical tradition.

John Calvin describes the Catholic church as “very miserable, and almost desperate” in this 1543 work. He appeals directly to Holy Roman Emperor King Charles V, pointing out the failures of the church and demanding change. On behalf of the reformers, Calvin details his proposed solution. He gives a stirring call to reinstate sound doctrine and rethink everything from worship practices, to church governance, to administration of the sacraments in this lesser-known, yet important work.

Surely Charles Spurgeon, one of the most prolific and important preachers of the 1800s, had plenty of reasons to be prideful. In this sermon, however, he notes that “Of all creatures in the world the Christian is the last man who ought to be proud.” He provides examples from scripture of prideful Christians whose lack of humility drove them apart and hindered their spread of the Gospel. Spurgeon’s teaching on the vice of pride serves as a thorough, reliable reference for Christians to this...

In this sermon, Charles Spurgeon discusses the Day of Atonement. While himself a Reformed Baptist preacher, Spurgeon respected the deep symbolism of this Jewish tradition. He carefully analyzes the parallels between the Old Testament high priest and Jesus as the High Priest, who makes the atoning sacrifice. In remembrance of Christ’s sacrificial act, Spurgeon writes urges us to “clap our hands with joy, for he liveth, he liveth; the atonement is accepted, and we are accepted too; the scape...

Charles Spurgeon was one of the most well-known preachers in the 19th century. Yet more than anything, he desired that all who knew him would desire to know Christ. Before his congregation at the Metropolitan Tabernacle he said to himself, “My soul, never be satisfied within a shadowy Christ.” He points to Philippians 3:10, where Paul says he gave up everything “That I may know [Christ]”; Spurgeon urges all who listen to do likewise.
